CVE-2026-47686 | BDVDB-2026-360504 Detail

patriksimekvm2

Description#

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.6, handleException() in lib/setup-sandbox.js sanitizes SuppressedError.error, SuppressedError.suppressed, and AggregateError.errors but does not sanitize Error.cause, allowing sandbox code to obtain a powerful host object such as process from an embedder-exposed host function that throws an error with that object as its cause and then execute arbitrary host commands. This issue is fixed in version 3.11.6.

Impact#

Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact high, availability impact high. Attack vector: network.
